[@mickramsay5002]

Thank you for having me dreaming. It really is a beautiful area to cruise. How much would I like to be with you. Anyway, I am an old man, a former sailor in the german merchant navy. I love to be on the sea. Your lovely pictures feed my imagination. Thank you so much !

[@robertnixon3816]

The only bad thing about you videos is that they end! I could watch that Ingrid sail forever. The gentlest of motion and by far the most beautiful yacht! Georgeous country that Baha!

[@darrellhanks6459]

Another great video! I love the music choices, cinematography and overall production. You guys are putting a lot of work into your videos.

Your visit to San Javier was SO peaceful. The Bishop was in town for the celebration we found ourselves in. It was full immersion, shoulder-to-shoulder people wading through and kicking a carpet of aluminum cans about two cans deep across the ancient cobblestones. A carnival was operating on both sides of the street with food booths all along. There were at least 5000 people and no porta-potties. Some locals were renting-out their toilets. No bush within 100 feet of the outskirts of town was without a little patch of white blossoms. There was classic cabalgatos parading beautiful ranch people on their finest horses. Never to be forgotten.

I love the novel concept of incorporating sailing into a sailing channel.

[@johnshaw8327]

They really do it well. Eventually they'll have many more subscribers. Maybe people will discover the joys of wooden boats..... but that might be too much to ask. I love maintaining a wooden boat but not so many do these days. It makes them affordable at least.

[@jaywinters2483]

Most sailing videos are face, face & more face. Or canned music ruining the vicarious experience we all seek

[@benthrelkeld4929]

Thanks for another terrific view. Love the cinematography and your gentle narrative style.

[@MadisonBoatworks]

Thanks!

[@felipericketts]

Baja and the Sea of Cortez are magical! Tanks for your storytelling. Brought back wonderful feelings and memories! 🙂

[@jaywinters2483]

First time I’ve seen Julia out of the water. It’s all keel! Never seen a keel with a boat on top like this.

[@rmcnabb]

Breathtaking.

[@1XX1]

I am retired in Hawaii from Santa Barbara. It is Christmas evening as I write this. Your video travels brought me back to the many sailing days of my past. Thank you for all the hard work. I bet the storms were nerve-racking.

[@ricorichmond8214]

Going back into your library to watch from where you guys begin to see the ones I missed of your journey only a few ! Which all are Remarkable! Thanks so very much in sharing your adventures!

[@fransdriesen1311]

Very nice and informative narration…loved the scenery and the boat of course.,

[@roadboat9216]

What an incredible cruising ground. We loved the Sea of Cortez. Cruised it for about 3 yrs. On our way back to SFO from Panama. Got stuck there. Too nice to leave. Did a lot of Scuba there. I noticed that you just touched on Aqua Verde. This was one or our favorite spots. Wonderful little village. Helped out there one room school. The Sea life was amazing. So many dolphins and whales. We had many very close encounter with Hump Back, Grey and the mighty Blue Whale. One came so close that he was rubbing our hull. Stayed with us for about 5 min. Right with us!! He had to be 75+ feet. So many memories. Enjoy. And Thanks for the reminder.

[@davidcarpenter5274]

Wow @ 3:10 ,,, Julia really likes having her rail ,,, in the water ... She looks good with all her sails up and tight ... Well done ... Thanks ...

[@bethanysmall6663]

Watching this over and over again. I want to be you two someday.

[@chuy86]

Beautiful Sea of Cortéz...great videos guys! Loving watching your videos, I fall in love with them when I saw my beautiful Mexican Flag 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 flying in your boat!!! Saludos!!

[@johnm6011]

Wow!

[@stevenplancich6449]

Glad to ya Folks way “Outback”👍 Amazing Trip & appears yer Enjoying…Continue to Stay Safe…Fair Winds😎

[@Wanderglobe]

You guys are living my dream! I'm in Campbell River on Vancouver Island and just finished my first 3 sailing courses. I've been to Baja 6 or 7 times in my 73 VW bus and hung out in all the areas you've been to but from land. Next time I sail there, down Central America and from Panama across the Pacific. I know I'm new to this but whatever, you only live once. Thanks for sharing.

[@coug96fan]

So beautiful! Love hearing the history and adventure on land and sea.

[@georgepeat5269iearth]

soul soothing in the good old saskatchewan wintertime. thank you for your great efforts in sharing. some good things about the technet that has circled the world of humans.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Fair winds...

I remember The Hook. Unique anchorage.

[@johnviney7919]

I enjoy your videos! Great scenery and sailing shots. Enjoy your voyage! 😀

[@mikea1654]

Nice videos! you have a beautiful boat and have accomplished a lot. thanks for sharing

[@BohemianBeatster]

Groovy video = Gorgeous sailboat.

[@patriciaLAURENT-s1n]

❤😂🎉beautiful paysage, wonderful, merveillous, good duo for this navigation😂😅😊❤🎉

[@stephenburnage7687]

I highly recommend that you visit Honeymoon Bay (not too far from Puerto Escondido). We thought it to be the best of all anchorages in the Sea of Cortes.

[@leoweishaar1838]

love all the sailing. that is what i like to see

[@tdiddle8950]

This is the second video that I've watched on this channel, and the production is spot on, the music fantastic. Good luck for growing your channel. You're doing a superlative job. Love the vibe of the vids in general.

[@timswafford5047]

A beautiful day

[@dluka26]

Amazing video! Thank you.

[@nixl3518]

Stunning!

[@brickleberry7829]

Thanks for sharing...nicely done video.

[@scottweier4285]

Amazing experiences, part of me would love to do something like this, the other would miss life's convinces like electricity a warm bed...

[@jesseibarra5038]

Nice video editing . I'll be there next month!

[@pamlovell9125]

Gorgeous!

[@robertstout7756]

Wonderful sailing filming with excellent music. Might I suggest when you clink glasses with your wife you pause, and look at her instead of looking away? 🙏

[@4217101]

This is beautiful

[@mariodelmare5515]

BRAVO Kapitän !

[@kevinbrennan6546]

these are great videos. Fair winds

[@DougVarble]

Nice video!

[@JJ-yh4nd]

Love your videos! Just a thought, the natural sounds would be so much more beautiful than the music, which at a certain point, becomes difficult to listen to. All the best to you and yours, just wanted to give you that feedback, so I can keep watching! We live on our wooden sailboat and love watching the fantastic places you are sailing to on yours!

[@christopherstevenson9737]

OMG. So glad YT Analytics sent me to you. Everything about your channel is beautiful!! Sailing vessel, video work, music, scenery, etc. Fabulous job on the restoration of this gorgeous classic vessel. What is the design? I’m preparing my “new to me” Pacific Seacraft Flicka-20 sailboat for the same journey. Presently docked in Long Beach, Ca. Retirement in 12 months, then headed south to Baja for winter. Would love to cross paths along the Pacific Coastal waters!! If you come past LA again, I can take you “Soaring” (a different way to sail with mother natures help!).

[@gregsage1605]

Nicely done!

[@SteveN3695J]

Well done and hello from Catalina Island, CA...:)

[@gabrielbernard9905]

Awesome. Thank you :)

[@cathyd.7332]

1:38 Stunning 😁

Watching those guys carelessly drive over the pod of dolphins made me upset. Besides that great content

[@jbsanger696]

Great video

Nice.

I am the first person to like but I am not the first person to love 💗

[@rongrant6666]

Hello enjoyed your videos. I have a wooden boat in Mexico, I took the same route as you, but unfortunately I got dismasted along the way. I cannot find any workers in Mexico who have any expertise with wooden boats. Is there any way I can contact you?

[@MadisonBoatworks]

Sorry to hear about your mast! Unfortunately I'm not able to be much help, we've set off over distant horizons. (The videos are a bit delayed from present location.) Spar quality wood and expertise is pretty thin on the ground in Mexico, might have to bring down a load of lumber and epoxy from San Diego. I assume it was a box section Marconi mast? Were you able to salvage any of the hardware? A new one could be built with just a few tools if you are up for the challenge. I hope you find a solution. Telephone poles have been used....

[@rongrant6666]

@@MadisonBoatworks It's a gaff rigged schooner, that had a solid sitka spruce mast. The telephone posts are not long enough in Mexico, and the quality of the wood is very poor. I'm in Mazatlan now, difficult to bring supplies from the US. I just thought if you were around the area you could help me with some things? The mast is only one of my problems ha ha. Thanks for your reply.

[@MadisonBoatworks]

@@rongrant6666 I would have been happy to help if near by. As you know a gaffer is very forgiving, a laminated stack of construction lumber planed round would not be totally unreasonable, or a longer end scarfed onto a telephone pole... I think Mazatlan is not the most friendly place to DIY. Best of luck to you though!

[@rongrant6666]

@@MadisonBoatworks Thanks for your answer, good luck to you I will be watching your videos.

[@timswafford5047]

Anytime I see anybody working to adjust the sails or any working Theismann is doing it. Why won't u help her. A woman that work like that is priceless. So help het.

[@alfredneuman6488]

Have you seen 'S V Basik' around where you are now? They showed much the same as you posted at the weekend.

[@MadisonBoatworks]

I don't remember seeing them, but we've been out of the area for a bit. There is a delay in getting the video all put together.

[@veronicasanchez994]

👍😍😍😍

[@tomkelly3896]

Always comical when gringo tries to speak spanish🤗

[@talktalk199]

Would you consider hiring someone who would like to learn how to work on wood boats? I would like to get my own someday but rather learn first.

[@MadisonBoatworks]

I wish I was in a place to do that. The best, easy resource for learning I have found is the book How to Build a Wooden Boat by David McIntosh. It is very clearly written and illustrated. Highly recommend!

[@stephenburnage7687]

Wooden boats are great but belong in northern waters. They deteriorate unbelievably quickly in tropical waters.

[@knkhi50]

What kind of dinghy is that?

[@georgewhitehouse8630]
